A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : A Framework for a User Profile Information Protocol
Author(s) : R. Penno
Filename : draft-penno-cdnp-nacct-userid-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 29-Jan-01
We present here a protocol in which edge network equipments, also
known as IPServices devices, Broadband RASes, Edge Routers and
so forth, can inform surrogates or traffic interception devices
extended information about the user, such as geographic location,
QoS policy, fully qualified login (name@domain.name)and start and
stop times (or its equivalent for non-session based users).
This protocol allows services provider, access providers and content
delivery networks to provide personalized or differentiated
treatment to each user individually, and also to enhance accounting
considerably.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
